Bebko-Jones Gets Probation

A former state lawmaker will escape jail time after pleading guilty to charges that she forged signatures on her nominating petitions. Linda Bebko-Jones, an Erie County Democrat, was sentenced in Dauphin County today to 12 months' probation. She pleaded guilty to charges of making false signatures and statements, conspiracy and making a fraudulent filing. Bebko-Jones resigned in 2006 after questions were raised about the validity of her signatures. Prosecutors say Bebko-Jones and an aide generated the fake signatures in March 2006 by combing the Erie phone book and Bebko-Jones' personal address book.
